Rating: 3/5Meh...

Cons: The fan sucks... and not in the good way. It started rattling not long after installation and never really has worked right after the first few weeks. Doesn't have enough cfm's to really make a difference and not enough static pressure to actually push or pull through the fins effectively.

it's also a pita to install and can easily be slid around after install.

Other Thoughts: all in one bracket solutions are a terrible idea. If intel had a decent standard bracket setup it wouldn't be so bad. most stock amd motherboard brackets could handle this, but they decided to replace it anyway, now, you have a cooler that slips around no matter what socket you get. But hey, it's cheap and effective. As long as you are willing to spend an extra 30-40 bucks on good fans that last more than 3 weeks.

and yes "static pressure" is very important for a fan, but none of these manufacturers include it in their specs because most of the fans are trash and have horribly low static pressure.

Rating: 5/5Very good cooler for my needs

Pros: Good size heat sink ( good with my Rosewill Armor evo case), it fits my MSI Z97-G43 mother board very good, and still have room to install a second fan. Installation was very easy, took me no more than 20 mins from unboxing it.....watched couple of youtube videos before the process.....and it well worth the time :D Now my cpu (i7-4790k) with stock 4.0-4.4 Ghz, only go up to 45-50 C, when it was in the stress test....it used to be like 70-90 with the stock intel fan ...so very happy with the purchase.

Cons: none at the moment.

Other Thoughts: the 4 screws with the arm that hold the sink to the mother board is a little bit hard to put it on...but once you tight the 4 screws into the right place....it's nothing after....but make sure you push the sink in the place when you put the screws up.. (it's good to have a helper to push it for you, when you are tightening the screws, so that the sink doesn't move around, and mess the thermal paste all over the places)...

Rating: 5/5What a beast!

Pros: This thing just extended the lifespan of my FX-8120 probably a couple years. Stock cooler was beginning to fail and consistently sounded like a hair dryer. Undecided between this and a Corsair H100i and I'm getting the same cooling efficiency for 1/3 the price.

Previously had to underclock in order to not shut down even inside a Level 10 case. Overclocked now to 4.0GHz and full load temps cannot get over 39c. Idle is a chilly 12-20c. I am literally only limited by my CPU stability.

Cons: Install was incredibly painful. Even with a case that has easy access to the back plate, I find this kind of work stressful, and I do this for a living. The instructions are lacking, and the cooler itself is awkward to install--horizontal was not an option for me, I wanted a vertical install to properly move the heat straight out the back rather than drag hot air from my GTX970 across the heat sink. Luckily my RAM is fairly short and the fan gently rests right on the spreaders. In the end, the cons are worth it. With proper application of Arctic Silver 5, this is hands down the best air cooler on the market. I don't even need to install a second fan for pulling since I'm in no danger of getting over 40c at any speed.

Other Thoughts: Don't be intimidated by the size of this thing, but do not underestimate it. It is a HUGE cooler, but huge means more surface area, and really does the job. In a Level 10, I still have the height clearance, but be careful about whether you want horizontal or vertical. Horizontal makes sense to reduce fan torsion, but thermodynamically unsound if you have heat coming from the bottom of your case as most modern ones do.

Rating: 5/5Great Heat sink!

This thing is a great alternative to a water cooling solution, and is, in my opinion, the BEST air cooled heat sink, period. Comes with a 120mm fan, which is great. Also includes clips for an additional 120mm fan that you can put on the back of the heatsink.

Cons: Instructions were a little confusing at first, had to look over them to figure everything out. Learning curve for a first time install of this heatsink is expected.

Cons: Difficult to install vertically. Fan mount by default is push (pull benches much lower temps but its painless to reverse) Will not clear dimm 00 or 01 in horizontal position unless you have low profile ram. Clamps must be spread by hand with lots of pressure to align to holes in backplate for vertical mounting on AM3+

Rating: 4/5Can't beat theprice, but keep an eye on that fan

Pros: Low price, and performance is excellent for price. Included fan is whisper quiet.

Cons: The heat sink is huge, take some careful measurements of how much room you have, because this thing will take a lot of it. No way this will fit in a small form factor build.

The fan worked fine for a while, but about a year after I installed it, the fan gave up the ghost and caused me a number of problems. I still think I got my money's worth out of it, but be ready for the fan to fail eventually

Other Thoughts: On the plus side, the product came with an extra set of fan clips, meant for users to be able to strap a second fan on for a push-pull configuration on it, however, I did not opt for that, but when the original fan failed, i was able to pick up a replacement 120mm fan for cheap and strap it in with the spare clips for no further charge.
